Is The Trailer's Steering Wheel At The Front Or The Rear?

The swivel wheels of the trailer should be placed at the back. 12

Considering the design and convenience of the trailer, the universal wheel is usually more suitable to be installed at the back of the trailer, that is, on the side close to the handrail. Such a design makes it easier to operate whether pushing or pulling the cart. On the contrary, if the universal wheel is installed at the front, it may cause inconvenience in directional control. When installing the universal wheel, it is crucial to ensure that it is correctly and reliably fixed in the predetermined position. The axle should be kept vertical to the ground to reduce the additional pressure on the wheel during use. At the same time, the quality of the caster bracket must meet the standards and meet the designed load rating requirements to ensure the durability and service life of the wheel.

The function of the universal wheel should not be affected by the installation device and should be reasonably configured according to different uses. For example, in some applications, it may be necessary to mix universal wheels with fixed wheels. To avoid waste caused by installation errors, installation must be carried out strictly in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. In addition, care should be taken to avoid using the trailer in special environments, such as extreme temperatures, high acidity and alkali, high salt, chemical solvents, etc., to prevent reducing the efficiency of the casters. During use, appropriate measures should be taken according to the actual situation, such as choosing suitable metal materials, casters and lubricating oil, and taking care to avoid pollution of the ground by certain materials.
